t15dja Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Here's my attempt at the 1/72 Revell (Airfix / Heller) Concorde. She's built out of the box except for the addition of a pair of pilots, a tiny bit of scratchbuilding under the visor and the F_DCAL decals, although I only used the window / door decals from the latter. It's an impressively large model once built, with a length of 85cm and a wingspan of 37cm. I definitely wouldn't describe it as an easy build.....here's a link to the build thread, which will hopefully give a flavour of the blood, sweat and tears required to undertake this kit! https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235047199-revell-172-concorde/page/8/&tab=comments#comment-3368409 Thanks for looking!

Sheepie Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Glad to see her finished and looking stunning! Even though I get to spend most weeks with a real one, I never get bored of seeing a finished 1/72 bird! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its a challenging build, but that's what we modellers thrive on! With a bit of patience and perserverence it can be made into an impressive model. Go on.....you know you want to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Beautiful, utterly elegant, sophisticated, ethereal, streamlined, stylized...all adjectives proper for the result, and absolutely improper for the kit and building process! 😁 You have achieved something close to impossible! Well done! I am sure a big "Phew!!!!" was proffered upon completion. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 That's fantastic! The clean, white finish would be a real test of any modeller, yet you have pulled it off beautifully. With those dimensions, it must look very impressive on display in your home. Congratulations of an excellent build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
